Videos

You may come across many types of video content depending on whether your administrator has added custom content. You may see YouTube videos, MP4s, and streaming videos, as well as Skillsoft videos that comprise courses.

Each Skillsoft video is part of a Skillsoft course. You can find each Skillsoft video as a separate content item when you perform a search and select Video under Type filters. If you are browsing the library, you will only see courses under the Watch tab of channels. You may see individual videos as part of journeys and depending on the display style of the journey, the video may play inline without you having to launch a separate player. Finally, you may see videos in an assignment.

If you launch a video and it shows in the video-only player, you can see that video as a separate learning activity on your Learning Activity page. Admins also see that video as a separate completion in reports.

The video-only player has no table of contents or course details, nor does it play the next video in the course sequence or show related content. If available, you may see a Resources tab that shows supplemental resources available from the course that support the video. Use these resources to enhance your learning.

To launch the course that this video is part of, select the course title link from the video's search results card.

Video content card. The from course field at the bottom has a link to the course that the video is from.

If you launch a course, each video that you play within the course is not recorded as a separate learning activity.

Note: If the video was uploaded as custom content, the experience may vary based on the creation and configuration settings.
